In Thibet Is the method they use
in naming their hotels. The Five
Felicities, the Social Graces and
the Friendly Strangers are among
the titles which their hostelries
bear. Would it not be a good idea
for Americans to adopt some such
names for their hotels? The high-
sounding and Oriental names, such
as are the custom in many places,
might be wisely and profitably al
tered to others more homely and
attractive. What would be the
matter with the Soft-Bed hotel, or
the Three-Square Meals house, or
the Clean-Towel pliee? We im
agine many weary, hungry and
•oiled travelers would eagerly enter
•uoh plaoes, if appearances inspired
as much promise as the names
And that less patronage would
follow the pomp and splendor and
gorgeousness reflected from present
familiar titles.
“ Well, well,” I cried in great delight
To see things boom that way,

And th in k my plan so nice,
That he’d not only praise his wares
But pay me double price.
And did he do it? Listen, please;

When suddenly he turned on me
And vigorously said:
“Take out that advertisement, quick!

I ’ll never git a chance to rest

general use of it on bridge timbers,

If every state will pass a law
prohibiting the killing of quail for
five years the supply of bad bugs
and noxious weeds would greatly
decrease.
Such laws would be
worth much to farmers. Quail
should be regarded and treated as
domestic fowl instead of wild game.
The people of Moro received a
rare treat in the entertainment given
by the charming little sifters, Mieses
Lucy and Sara Adams, h* the Opera
House last Friday evening. The
singing, reading and,tableaux were
of a most refined and unique
character and reflect great credit on
the little ladies. Every number on
the program was rendered with
dignity and grace which would be
hard to beat. There was a fair
sized audience apd all went away
